EX-SENATOR CAMDEN has presented the Cam.
den Guards, of Marion county, West Virginia,
with a large and handsome double silk flag,

scented to Mrs Cleveland by her college chum,

In her daily life Mrs Dinah Mulock- Craik was,
says the London Daily NelCS. remarkably
methodical Though many of her works APP
peared in periodicals, she would never under
any circumstances consent TO a beginning of
publication before the work was entirely out of
her hand, and what is very singular, she is said
through the whole course of her forty years
labors never to have begun writing anything
which she did not carry straight through and It
is believed that she has not left behind a single
line of unfinished work intended for publication
Indeed everything she ever wrote with view
TO publication has been published.
ROGER Q. Mills, of Texas, who is attracting
good deal of attention at present the
prospective chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the Fiftieth Congress, is one of
consttutionally opposed to lodging any qlIes-
ton in which the people are interested. He is a
Fighter from the headwaters of Bitter creek. He
holds that public man should have views on
every public question and express them freely.
In this way he plunged into the middle of the
prohibition campaign in Texas last summer,
when the other members of the Congressional
delegation were laboring earnestly to avoid the
issue. Mills can pour out rhetorical thunder
bolts by the hour His eloquence Is fervid and his
voice hIxuriant. He lis at his best in q fight. He
approaches the contest like the flagship Of an
Admiral, aud while he Ia in action there is not
sinew of his body at rest. III Mills and Ran
dali grappe over the tariff question, there will
be- such fight as was never seen IN the House
before. Mills is nearly six feet high and Is
about IS years old. His hair and dropping
moustache are white His eyes are gray-blue,
and flash and glitter, while under the influence
OF intellectual excitement. He is mortal enc
my of prohibition or any species of sumptuary
law and believes that when the citizen is de-
prived of responsibility to care for himself true
liberty ends. He is an absolute teetotaler and
was member in good standing of the Metho
dist church South until the minister's of that de-
nomination in Texas took the political platforms
to preach prohibition Thomas jefferson is
Mills political idol; he did not like Tilden,
and was an advocate Of the nomination Of Thur
